| SYNOPSIS/PLOT |
Californication centers on novelist Hank Moody (Duchovny) who struggles to raise his 12-year-old daughter (Madeleine Martin), while still carrying a torch for his ex-girlfriend Karen (McElhone). His obsession with truth-telling and self-destructive behavior -- drinks, drugs and relationships -- are both destroying and enriching his career.
Pilot Episode plot: A one-night-stand causes Hank Moody to be late in meeting twelve-year-old daughter Becca at home, much to the disgust of ex-girlfriend Karen. Then, a romp with a hot bookstore shopper will upend Hank's life in ways he could never imagine. After Becca sneaks out to a party, Hank and Karen go in search of their daughter. Later, Hank and Karen have a heart-to-heart where he admits he wants her back, but she reveals she's engaged and moving on. |
| PRO REVIEWS |
----------------------------------------
"There's a lot to love in 'Californication', from the blowtorch-keen dialogue of creator and writer Tom Kapinos to the way that Duchovny's ever-so-slightly-fading good looks perfectly encapsulate the character's downturn in Hollywood" (Tim Goodman: San Francisco Chronicle)
----------------------------------------
"The show is not designed to appeal to prudes, but the writing and the acting are too good to be wasted on the prurient. Rating: ***1/2 (out of ofur)" (Robert Bianco: USA Today)
----------------------------------------
"Duchovny is as rakishly appealing as any cad can be" (Matt Roush: TV Guide)
----------------------------------------
"Despite the show's flaws (...). Duchovny gives off the heat of 2007 Brando. Rating: **17" (out of four)" (Kyle Smith: New York Post)
----------------------------------------
"'Californication' tries to poke fun at the hypocrisy and delusions of Hollywood, but it doesn’t have enough wit (...) to be very convincing. Mostly the series comes off as male payback for 'Sex and the City'" (Alessandra Stanley: The New York Times)
